The Orthodox Church has always taken an active critic of all sorts of reality shows. But despite this, they become only more, because the righteous anger of the clergy can not compete with the notion of "high ranking". And representatives of the church decided to act: they will shoot the orthodox alternative to super popular "Dom-2".

The authors of the original idea the priest at Holy Trinity Izmailov Cathedral and St. Petersburg Konstantin Parkhomenko culturologist Anton Vuyma. Name of the project have not yet invented, but one thing is clear - instead of "build the love, scandal and went to copulate, the heroes will be engaged in propaganda of orthodox values: begin to fast, pray, substitute abuser" other cheek "and even to become pilgrims.

Anton Vuyma said that participants would show the young guys, they will get from St. Petersburg to Jerusalem. Part of the way they have done on foot, spending the night under the open sky or in hotels in Orthodox monasteries. Route their traffic is already defined: Russia, Ukraine, and then Bulgaria, Greece and further - to the Promised Land. People will actually cross the border on their own to overcome difficulties. They will watch for danger, and very different - from the attack of robbers to conflict with the authorities. It is clear that some situations will be scheduled, spelled out in script, some arise by themselves, right in the course of action. So normal, completely healthy extreme show is guaranteed.

The purpose of the sponsors to show viewers that except for "values" on which to build the project "Dom-2" - vulgarity and permanent idleness is something more important. Viewers must understand that only thanks to the best human qualities - faith in God, kindness, reciprocity and fortitude to people unable to complete such a difficult route. Between the characters will not be behind the scenes of struggle and unhealthy rivalry. The rules are not provided for the expulsion of members from the show.

The creators are confident that fans of the project will be enough. Basically it will be religious people who are tired of the mud flow, which falls on them from TV screens. In addition, the hard way heroes show will meet the various temples and monasteries, little-known corners of the earth, beautiful scenery. Therefore, the project will be of interest as fans travel.

It is still unknown which of the channels may be interested in a translation of the Orthodox reality show, but its creators are convinced that the problem with that is not the main thing competently present their product.
